How can I go into labor early???

Share

Im am currently in college and I want to have my baby early so that I can continue school in the fall with no problems. What are different ways that I can prepare to have an early labor when I reach 37 weeks????

you can try massage/reflexology/accupressure, walking, sex (but guy has to get off in you--prostaglandins in semen ripen the cervix), etc... but truth is, baby is gonna come when baby wants to (unless you are induced).

When I had my LO a couple weeks early since the doc was goin on vacation for three weeks and didn't feel comfortable with some strange doc I didn't even know doing my delivery so he gave me the option to be induced. They start you off with Pitocin ( med to make you go into labor) and let you go from there. You just have to be careful and hope the baby decided to grace you that day or doesn't have any problems with it other wise they may make you have a c-section. i would deff ask your doc what he is more comfortable doing though.

I think it's crazy to force a baby to come early by induction. Just do a little research on inductions for no medical reason and you will see that it's not a very healthy decision for you, your body or your baby. I would seriously consider just letting that baby come when he/she is ready to come.
